OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS | ROMANIA
|
Abandoned border crossing between Hungary and Romania. A little over 20 years ago, this point separated two countries both in the grip of Soviet hegemony. Today, the same point connects two countries both under the auspices of the European Union. |
In most rural areas (and some urban centers as well), horse carriages are still a frequently used mode of transportation. |
Highways are rare. In fact, only a few hundred kilometers of multi-lane paved roadways serve a country of over 20 million people. |
A souvenir from the not-so-distant past. |
